  • Excellent! :)

    from T.S. Eliot:

    Time and the bell have buried the day,
    The black cloud carries the sun away.
    Will the sunflower turn to us, will the clematis
    Stray down, bend to us; tendril and spray
    Clutch and cling?

    • I wasn't sure what type it was, but I liked the swirling form. It was seen on the garden tour I featured in today's post.
